How To Prevent Frozen Pipes

A Rooter Pros repairs frozen pipes in NJ and offers some tips for prevention of frozen pipes.

Pipes that are exposed to the cold must be insulated.

Pipes most at risk for freezing include:

Pipes in unheated areas of the home.
Pipes in exterior walls, including attic, crawl space or garage pipes.

Drain water hoses and shut off water pipe that supplies your hoses.
Drain the water from your pool and sprinkler water supply.
Disconnect your hose and drain it.
Don’t have your house too cold or have windows open in the winter.

If you are leaving your home in the winter for a significant amount of time, you will need to protect against freezing pipes in your home or business.

Set the thermostat to at least 59 degrees.
Drain water from faucets and flush your toilets.
Shut off the main water valve for the property.

During extreme cold, you may want to call a professional to inspect the water system, pipes and drains.
